Search Results: sweater dress

After several absolutely freezing days, I had enough and decided I better bundle up. I went all out with heavy weight thermal long underwear top and bottom. Layered turtleneck sweater dress, hoodie, leg warmers, you name it. Put on my huge goose down parka, hat, scarf over my face, thick snowboarding pants, and boots. I put my fur hood up, mittens on, I was ready, no skin exposed.

So I walk outside to the bus stop and didn't feel a thing! I was winning at life.

I looked around and saw all these people so under-dressed for the weather. I stood there feeling like a genius, but I was getting warmer, and warmer, and warmer...

Then it hit me... I wasn't even cold outside! Like way above freezing! I was so bundled I didn't even notice... by the time I did I was already on the bus on the way to work!!!

Please tell me how stupid I am...

Think:
Vintage high waist Levi's
Dr. Martens
Black ripped skinny jeans
Oversized vintage sweaters (usually plain and in neutral colors)
Basic boyfiend-fit tees
Also no makeup-other than a barely-there lipstick, and my hair is cut very short.

I also major in art history at an elite art school so I'm often writing, researching or working somehow (so I like to have a comfortable "uniform" going on).

I also do buy certain things from the guy's section, often sweaters (which are better quality and cheaper). I even have this denim jacket and have seen some guys with the same one.

However, for the (rare) night out, I get out the black dress and berry lipstick with flats or heels. As you see, either way I keep things simple.
I do love nail polish, in white, red, blues.

I used to not mind, as it's just my personal look, but now I'm starting to wonder if that's why guys are reluctant to approach me. Some of them look at me, even those that I think are attractive, but they don't say anything. This has happened to me for a while. What do you think?

Also, I'm black, so I don't know if that has influence (and most black girls that I know dress up every day).
